The Philadelphia Press credits As
semblyman Beckwith with saying that
the result of the defeat of Albeit for
Senator was not as bad as was expect
ed and that heappears to be the strong
est Democrat IN the State yet, and will
be the next gubernatorial candidate.
There has been "A combination between
L. ). Senator Mcpherson, GOV. Green
and Secretary of State Kelsey with the
object of having Mcpherson succeed
himself in 1890, the appointment of
Green to the Supreme bench of the
State aud Kelsey 5 retention in the Sec
taryship. This combination he says
will be resented by the younger element
of the Democratic party. Mcpherson
does not possess the confidence of the
Democracy, Green has shown his lack
of gratitude, while KELSEY is for him
self all the time. Albeit is out of the
field for McPhersOn's seat and EN-Chan-
cellor Bunyon will be a candidate. Al
though Mcpherson wa apparently for
Albeit in the last election, he is I'M
questionable responsible for the ignor-
ing manner the Governor has treated

vice to elect Green delegates and he
